Photography Competition 2011
After the success of the photography competition in its first year, National Historic Ships decided to run it again in 2011 in partnership with Classic Boat magazine. We received over 350 entries in 2010 and almost equalled that number in 2011, thanks to support from the sponsors with even more great prizes to be won.
Entries were encouraged from all those with an interest in maritime heritage, including school children, historic vessel owners, maritime enthusiasts and those with knowledge of traditional skills or nautical techniques. National Historic Ships offered a monetary prize of £1,000 for the overall competition winner, to be spent on a theme or activity involving a vessel from the National Register of Historic Vessels. This year, for the first time, we were also able to offer a Beken image for the winner of Category A, whilst the digital cameras awarded to the successful school entrants are the latest models tailored to your age group. All short-listed entrants are invited to our prestigious national awards ceremony onboard HMS Belfast, who have generously waived their hire fee.
The 2011 competition is now closed, but you can browse the competition pages to view the shortlisted entries, view our judging panel or find your local historic vessel. Please also visit our Flickr support page and search for the group called 'National Historic Ships - Photo Competition 2011' to become a member!
